Printable Version

64.440 AMOUNT OF LAND REQUIRED TO BE DEDICATED; MINIMUM QUANTITY:

A person requesting a subdivision or resubdivision (where the resubdivision causes an increased demand on parks) of lands under Section 61.220 shall be required, as a precondition of approval of said subdivision request, to dedicate to the use of the public for neighborhood park purposes meeting the standards for Section 64.430, eight (8) acres per 1,000 projected residents within the subdivision after full development, which is:  0.008 multiplied by the number of persons per dwelling unit multiplied by the number of dwelling units allowed in the subdivision.  The number of persons per dwelling unit listed in Table 64.440 is based on data compiled by the City.  The City Council shall periodically review and adjust these assumptions as necessary.
